After spending three years as the darlings of MTV and the scourge of the actual Jersey Shore, we somehow knew that despite babies, parenthood and the fact that it's only been about five years since the show ended, the "Jersey Shore" kids wouldn't be gone for long.

After all, they've already had their own MTV spinoff shows. Apart from the nearly three-year run of "Snooki & JWoww," those didn't last all that long, but the network is clearly game to capitalize on our sense of nostalgia for 2010, and in the process, recreate some of the reality-show magic that made the original group such compelling trainwreck TV.

On Wednesday, the 30-year-old breakout star of the reality series, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, who is now married, a mother of two and currently lives in Florham Park, posted a short first teaser of the promised revival of the MTV reality show, "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation," on Instagram. MTV also announced the premiere date, (8 p.m.) April 5.

(No worries: a judge allowed Sorrentino, a Staten Island-born alum of Manalapan High School, to film the show before his sentencing on April 25.)

But for all of those bemoaning the return of the formerly hard-partying crew known for getting arrested at the boardwalk (more than once), engaging in a melee or three, and summoning cabs to their Seaside Heights summer house for nights of revelry and frolicking (in the relevant parlance, that's dancing), know this: "Jersey Shore: Family Reunion" does not take place in New Jersey.

This time, the group, who filmed their last season of "Jersey Shore" just before Hurricane Sandy came to town, will head to Miami, echoing the show's trip to Miami Beach in its second season.

The teaser shows what appears to be Cortese and Polizzi waving, with one saying "We're your new neighbors!!"

Also known for their beef with former Gov. Chris Christie, Polizzi, Cortese, DelVecchio and Sorrentino join cast members Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Vinny Guadagnino and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro for the new series. Missing is Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola, who grew up in Hazlet and whose rocky relationship with Ortiz-Magro was a common thread through multiple seasons.

"Everyone's asking why Sammi's not doing it. You have to ask her that -- I'm not gonna speak for her," she said, according to an E! report. "But Sammi is just in such a happy place that I feel like she doesn't want to jump back into that drama if it does happen. And being that there was a lot of Ron and Sam drama when we did film, it was just really hard on both of them. So I just think she doesn't want that anymore."

This revival follows an E! "Reunion Road Trip" special with Snooki and company that aired in August, which seemingly tested the waters for interest in resurrecting the series' original dynamic.
